COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Fantastic sets submitted by mandevil on December 16, 2023, 4:09pm As usually Wes Anderson creates a very striking look to the film. Unfortunately, the acting is very flat. So i found it impossible to follow any plot.

Hemorrhoid City submitted by tarascon on January 8, 2024, 1:08pm I tend to enjoy Anderson’s particular brand of oddness but this production suffers from trying too hard. Rather than being quirky this film is a bit constipated. The color palette and sets are the best thing about it.

If you want to watch a truly absurdist-cum-surrealist film check out the brilliant “My Winnipeg.”

Enough submitted by clayton on February 24, 2024, 10:43pm I enjoyed the early Anderson films but now he’s become formulaic and boring, even shooting the entire film with the look of a old post card begins to wear on you when there’s no plot to follow, plus he keeps trotting out the same players and characters in different guises time after time, so for me I’ve seen enough of mr. Anderson’s lame attempt at entertainment.
